St. Matthew 7:13&14: "Enter ye at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in there at. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leads to life: and few there are that find it!"
Hebrews 5:1~4: "For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifice for sin: who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Neither does any man take to honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was."

Any one who is familiar with Aaron certainly knows of the sins that the Bible tells us that Aaron committed. "But the things that are gain to me, the same that I have counted lost for Christ. Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ: and may be found in Him, not having my justice, which is of the Law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith..." (Philippians 3:7,8,9)

Therefore, I come before you my dear brothers and sisters not as your accuser or judge, but as a fellow sinner who is still trying to fight the good fight. I'm simply trying to help you to do likewise and to remind us all that our prime objective is still to drain the swamp of our souls of anything that will keep us out of Heaven.

Our Lady at Fatima did NOT come up with anything NEW, but as a pupil of Jesus all during His private life. She reminded us of just what will keep us out of Heaven. Again, the primary reason why people don't find "the narrow gate" or find it closed, is for sins of the flesh, including: abortion, birth control, pornography, masturbation, adultery, etc. The following is a short list from Scriptures which all are indicated to be "sins unto death". In other words, if you die unrepented with these sins on your soul, you can't get into Heaven.

Leviticus 8:19,20. These all refer to sexual sins.
Genesis 18 & 19. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is obviously sexual sins.
Genesis 38. The story of Onan and even the story of Juda and Thamar: adultery, prostitution, and spilling of seed.
Job 31. Job made a covenant with his eyes.
St. Matthew 5:28~32. Adultery with the eyes and adultery otherwise.
Romans 1:24~32. Sins that will keep you out of Heaven, and verse 32 includes those that consent to those that do them.
Galatians 5:5,16~26, especially verses 19~21. These are sins that will keep you out of Heaven.
Apocalypse 22:14,15, especially verse 15.

All of these are accounted by the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church as mortal sin. In the French language, 'mort' means 'Death'! Mortal combat is to the 'Death'. We are in mortal combat daily with the devil and we MUST take it as seriously as he does. It's not a time to play cute or clever with the Trad Bishop because he's just a man. As a Watchman, it is my vowed duty to defend, first of all, Christ, in His rightful concerns for your souls, for which He paid the ultimate Price of His Suffering and Death on the Cross. Secondarily, but in total agreement with His concerns, it is also my vowed duty to arm you in this mortal conflict in which I am down in the trenches fighting right along side you. For, Satan is OUR enemy, not just yours.

We must clear up the difference between 'Redemption' and 'Salvation'. In Exodus 13:12~16, Moses received the commandment from God concerning the first born male of animals and of men. A price was to be paid to the priest for each of the first born males of certain animals. Verse 13 specifically says ..."and if they do not redeem it, thou shalt kill it", concerning animals; and every first born of men "thou shalt redeem with a price." Thus we can understand why Jesus as our Redeemer is the First Born of Men. He died on the Cross as the Redemption Price for mankind. It had to be an unblemished lamb, and so, "the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world" became sin for us and our propitiatory offering to the Eternal Father. Obviously, if the redemption price was not paid for an animal, it had to be killed; and therefore was no longer of service to the human. Therefore, Jesus's death fulfilled the requirement of our sin debt to the Eternal Father and we are free and alive then to serve the Eternal Father. How we perform our service will determine our Salvation/eternal destiny. We are in charge of of own eternal fate. St. Paul tells us to work out our salvation in fear and trembling, and let us never forget that St. Paul's Tutor was Jesus Himself in the three days that St. Paul was in the 3rd Heaven. (2 Corinthians 12:1~9) And therefore his saying "work out your salvation in fear and trembling" supercedes those who say we're saved by faith alone just as Lucifer's "non servium" (I will not serve) got him and his fellows thrown out of Heaven.

Ezechiel 33:12&13: "Thou therefore O son of man, say to the children of thy people: the justices of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice in what day soever he shall sin. Yea, if I shall say to the just man he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity which he has committed, in the same shall he dies." (Eternal) No sign of "once saved always saved" here, nor is there anything here regarding "faith alone", or that no works are necessary! After all, Martin Luther believed that even obeying the commandments were works!!
